Yes. You can file a survival action on behalf of your loved one, which is similar but distinct from a wrongful death claim. In a survival action, you can seek compensation for the pain and suffering your loved one experienced before they died. Any money awarded in a survival action goes to the deceased’s estate, after which it may be distributed to surviving family members.
